"Hello, My name's Brett. I'm planning on possibly
starting weight training someday if I have time in
the future. Could someone tell me what to do, and
possibly lift the all the big heavy weights for
me. Thanks."

Remember the person that told you that there was
no such thing as a stupid question? Fuckin' liar!

Get past your catamenia, discomfort, and pain, and
stop just before you reach the threshold of
insanity. It's normal to feel weakness, migraines,
nausea, temporary blindness, hemorrhaging, mild
incontinence, and the urge to curl into the fetal
position.

Arnie had a good "genetics" dealer. You don't. He
also smoked weed on camera while filming the
"Pumping Iron" movie. Hat's off to your fellow
countryman. Austrians have more connections than
NTT. 

>So far my routine is

Basically, when I said your routine sucked, you
should have figured that it sucked.
